Sultan Qaboos
**Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque** is one of Oman’s most iconic landmarks, known for its stunning Islamic architecture and peaceful atmosphere. Located in Muscat, the mosque was a gift to the nation from Sultan Qaboos and is open to non-Muslim visitors from 8:30 AM to 10:40 AM daily, except Fridays. Highlights include its grand prayer hall, the world’s second-largest handwoven carpet, and an enormous Swarovski crystal chandelier. While we view it from the outside during our tour (due to time constraints), it remains a must-see cultural treasure and a perfect photo opportunity reflecting Oman’s architectural beauty and spiritual heritage.
Royal Opera House
The Royal Opera House Muscat is Oman’s premier venue for musical arts and culture, reflecting the country's appreciation for both traditional and international performances. Opened in 2011 under the guidance of Sultan Qaboos, the building combines Islamic architectural elements with modern design, featuring white marble, carved wood, and luxurious interiors. Visitors can admire its beautiful facade, serene gardens, and often catch a glimpse of rehearsals or exhibits in the open areas. Even from the outside, the opera house stands as a cultural landmark and showcases Oman’s dedication to the arts, offering visitors a chance to see the country’s elegant side.
Mutrah Souq
Mutrah Souq is one of the oldest and most vibrant markets in the Arab world, known for its narrow alleyways, traditional wooden ceilings, and aromatic blend of frankincense, spices, and perfumes. Located along the Mutrah Corniche, the souq is a lively place where travelers can explore Omani handicrafts, silver jewelry, colorful textiles, and antique treasures. The market offers a true taste of local culture and heritage, making it an essential stop for anyone wanting an authentic Omani shopping experience. It's also a great place for photos and to interact with friendly local vendors in a bustling, traditional atmosphere.
